Bluray Player Advice needed
 

I was looking into the Samsung BD-P1590 but I see that it says its wifi-ready, but doesnt include the lan-stick. Do i need to buy that specific Samsung Lan-stick or are there (cheaper) alternatives? I wasnt looking to drop $170 on the player + $70 on the adapter.

Or can anyone recommend a bluray player that has the netflix and pandora apps and wifi for a reasonable price?

anyone?

i believe you need Samsung's own dongle to pick up a Wifi signal.

so that adds 50-60 bucks to the price. You may just want to upgrade to a player that has built in wifi

This is correct. I have this player and it works great, but I have it hard-wired.

Get the Insignia WiFi BD player. It's like $120-$130.

I thought that insignia player was only wi-fi ready?

Well anyway, I made my decision earlier today. Since Im moving and need a tv for living room, I went w/ Best Buys promotion of:

Insignia Promotion
42" LCD 1080p 120hz
Insignia NS-WBRDVD
Geek Squad Wireless Network Setup

all for $800

and I was offered the promotion for the Godfather 1 and 2 on bluray for $5 each. And free shipping and free delivery.

Seems like a pretty good deal considering the tv is $750, the bluray player is $180, and i can only imagine how much the idiots at geek squad charge to do this wireless crap (which i can do myself)

It's got WiFi built-in.
